Rating issues

The game contains infrequent scenes of mild violence including a boy who crawls into a furnace which then catches fire, although you do not see the boy afterwards, and shooting dead animated puppets which respond realistically.
Mildly offensive language such as ‘bitch’, ‘bloody’ and ‘sod’, is used periodically throughout.
There are also gruesome scenes of severed heads in boxes and mutilated animals, complete with their viscera showing, located around the ship.

Other issues

The game is predominantly set in the dark and as such, often has jump scares involving moving mannequins, shadows chasing you. When these shadowy creatures catch you, you reappear at a recent spawn point without seeing any violence take place towards yourself.
There is also a scene in which a boy appears to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head, but this proves to be an act as he stands up to the applause of the watching audience.
